P.T. Bauer
P.T. Bauer was a prominent British economist and a leading critic of foreign aid. He is best known for his work on development economics, particularly his argument that foreign aid often perpetuates dependency rather than fostering genuine economic growth. Bauer's influential writings challenge conventional views on aid effectiveness, emphasizing the importance of market mechanisms and private enterprise in alleviating poverty. His critiques argue that many foreign aid programs are more akin to charity than to productive investments, suggesting that such aid can sometimes hinder rather than help the very populations it aims to assist.
